We have a two party system, I don’t think that will go away. We’re creatures of habit in the U.S., you could say it’s a tradition of ours. It might be time we changed them, though. So how do we go about changing parties, given that 3rd parties tend to… Continue reading →

“Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist party?” That was a question asked during one of the darker spots of our governmental history. A time, not unlike today, where the appearance or accusation of impropriety could ruin a person – usually to the financial… Continue reading →

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately related to the recent tax bill. The posts center around that idea that everyone should go back to a barter system so that nothing is taxed. This is usually supported with the following statement, “If we all barter for goods and services,… Continue reading →

So yesterday I posited the idea of running for the Democrats as a non-Democrat, and not in the Bernie Sanders kind of why. I can’t say I’d do the same for the Republicans, at least not at this time. The first reason is that the Democratic party has, at least… Continue reading →

Trump released his healthcare plan today, or at least the talking points. I’m not sure who wrote it for him, but the guy deserves a raise. It actually reads fairly well and offers a decent rebuttal to Bernie’s single payer option. Unfortunately it fails to try and convince the Democrats… Continue reading →

Kevin Spacey, paraphrasing Edward R Murrow, said we get what we deserve. I think that is a great point of his, but it brings up a problem. You can’t operate a business at a loss and expect to stay in business, it just isn’t feasible. Money has to come from… Continue reading →
